Decorative Cornice

A decorative cornice is an architectural element installed at the junction between a building’s roof and façade, whose primary function is to highlight and enhance the architecture. It contributes to the overall appearance of the building by adding lines, volumes, or decorative details, while remaining part of the building envelope.

In Montreal, decorative cornices are common on residential, commercial, and heritage buildings and must be maintained in good condition to ensure the building’s durability, safety, and architectural coherence.
